Description

Muilinn Mhiabhaig, also known as Meavag Mill, is a former corn mill built around 1860. It is a tall, single-storey building with a rectangular plan and a piend roof. The mill has been converted into a Free Presbyterian prayer meeting house around 1950. It is situated in the rugged landscape of the Bays of Harris and still retains some remnants of milling machinery, including top hopper windows that hint at its industrial past, as well as an interesting interior featuring pews and a pulpit.

The exterior is constructed from roughly squared, coursed, and snecked rubble, with some remaining harling, large squared quoins, and stone lintels and cills. The entrance elevation faces southeast and includes a broad, two-leaf boarded timber door in the right bay, with windows in the centre and right bays. The other elevations are blank. There is a partially infilled wheel pit and remnants of wheel gearing on the southwest side.

The top hopper type timber windows feature a 9-pane glazing pattern, with the lower row consisting of three tall vertically aligned panes. The roof is made of corrugated material.

Inside, the church has a simple layout with boarded dadoes, fixed timber pews on either side of a central aisle, a timber pulpit, a sounding board, and gas brackets.
